nice vs lovely

VS

Today I noticed that my saying at present is “yeah that would be nice”. Nice! Really... when did I start using that word on a daily bases to describe the things I want to do?

I use to hate the word, as I used it to describe girls that I went to High School with. People would ask you “what’s so and so like?” and you would say oh, she’s a nice girl. Meaning she has limited drive, goes along with everything, is everyone’s friend and does everything, just so. To me that = boring and bland.So it got me pondering... Should I carry on with the use of this word, as it is kind of amusing to me that over a period of time my opinion hasn’t changed on the word but my liking for the word has grown due to context.Or should I find a new word that is more descriptive to my true emotion. Which would require me actually thinking before I say things rather than just blurting them out.Humm, I’m not sure.For the mean time I will replace the word nice with the word lovely.

Nice is defined as; pleasing; agreeable; delightful.Lovely is defined as; having a beauty that appeals to the heart or mind as well as to the eye, as a person or a face.I think this is a much better word to express my emotion in most cases.

about me

I’m just a little kiwi girl who is rather curious and interested in all kinds of things that happen around me. I think a lot in my head and if I don’t write them down or get them out they clutter my brain and I feel dizzy. So this is where I put them all.
This is not just a ground for me to record thoughts but also for you to give me your opinions on things as well (as a lot of the time I’m off in my own little world and need reminding on reality.) I like to see how ideas evolve, change and look at how things progress over time. Enjoy.
